This Baldie Sure Can Dance

Do you follow Dancing With the Stars? I will admit, that I don’t watch it. In fact I don’t watch any reality or celebrity based reality show. However, some women that I work with go on and on and on about this show. So I thought I would tune in. […]

The Hulkster is Bald

How did this escape me? I had no idea until tonight, that Hulk Hogan was bald. No idea. It didn’t even occur to me, that this may be the case. Man am I losing my bald-ar. To defend my stupidity, I had never seen him without his ‘do rag. […]

Swimming Can Cause Baldness

According to the Department of Research Writing at Quick Hair Loss Treatment Centre in Atlanta, studies are showing that swimming in chlorinated pools can result in hair discoloration and hair loss.

Would You Shave Your Head for Your Team?

It’s Superbowl Sunday, which makes me think of athletes and their superstitions. I know a few, don’t wash your gear when you are on a winning streak (yuck), growing beards, shaving your heads for team unity, eating the same thing before and after every game. There are tons of things that people do.

The bald look is in! According to hairstylists and male fashionistas everywhere, going completely bald is called “going NBA”.  As this was the look popularized by Michael Jordan and other basketball stars in the 90’s ( I must be out of touch, if I have just heard about this now).
Anyway, shaving your head if […]

In November, Stan Lazaridis will be returning to the game he loves so much.  He has just been cleared to go back to playing soccer for his club, Perth Glory.  Last year Lazaridis was banned from the game, due to testing positive to a banned substance.  A drug that was prescribed for alopecia.

Big Brother Looking out for Little Sister with Alopecia

Here’s a story that makes me think one day… perhaps… my own children will still get on with each other.
Meet Sharod Gandy. He plays basketball up in New Jersey… All-Bergen County for Englewood, which means he’s pretty good.
Now meet Ariel Williams. She’s seven. She’s Sharod’s little sister. And she’s got alopecia.
“She ignores it. She takes […]

Another Athlete in Trouble Over Finasteride

Seems balding athletes don’t read each other’s press. You’d think everyone would be aware of finasteride and it’s complications from Zach Lund’s Olympic ban. Or perhaps not…
Australian international soccer player Stan Lazaridis recently tested positive for finasteride. Of course he claims to be using it to regrow hair. Of course he also forgot to get […]

John Amaechi: Spokesman for HeadBlade

This falls into the initial category of follow up from the Tim Hardaway fiasco. John Amaechi, another former NBA player, has signed on as spokesman for HeadBlade, a brand of razor designed especially for shaving one’s head.
What’s the connection to the Hardaway fiasco?
Amaechi went public with his homosexuality in February 2007; Hardaway’s comments were made […]
